There is no other way to put this, but this motherboard is simply awesome. I have not had any of the other reported issues, or any issues at all actually. The motherboard runs flawlessly with my GTX580 sli setup and my xeon, with 32GB of RAM. No way to fault this board whatsoever. Possibly the best LGA2011 motherboard(some would say it's the Asrock X79 Extreme 11) and I love it. Top marks to ASUS!
